Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for targeted cancer therapies. Its structure enables effective binding to enzyme active sites, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing drugs with high selectivity. Also employed in agrochemical research for developing herbicides and plant growth regulators due to its ability to modulate biological activity in cellular systems. Commonly utilized in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize potency and pharmacokinetic properties of new drug candidates.
